A Target store set to open this fall near Richmond will offer local shoppers a preview of the retailer's turnaround effort.

The Houston-area store, slated to open this fall near Richmond will house two distinct shopping areas, each with a separate entrance. One side will be organized somewhat like a department store, while the other will offer quick services and grab-and-go items such as groceries and alcohol.

The so-called "inspiration" side will have a curved center aisle, branded displays and departments featuring similar items such as jewelry, accessories and beauty. The space will have brighter lighting and an airier layout, as well as typical Target features such as a CVS pharmacy and a Starbucks.

On the other side of the store, the "ease" entrance will open to a space designed to get shoppers in and out quickly. There, customers can pull in for curbside delivery, visit customer service, grab groceries and buy beer and wine in a separate shop within the store.
